New Year Coming

As Christmas is behind us and we are looking forward to the New Year, many home based businesses are looking at a slow period of their business, but it can be a planning time. I am currently looking at the business I had this past year and attempting to figure out how I can make a better year in 2016.

Since we get new catalogs towards the end of January, I am using the month of January to take orders and concentrate on organizing and marketing my products. I am using the month to make files and decorate new hostess packets in order to be ready for the new catalogs. I am sure that once they arrive, business will take off as I have already booked two parties for Feb. and look forward to booking more in the next few weeks.

Making phone calls is not my favorite thing to do in my business, but I believe that it is a good thing to do during the cold, snowy months that lie ahead. I am sure that we will have snow in the next week or two even though it was almost 60 degrees on Christmas day. Once cabin fever sets in the calls may get easier because who doesn't look forward to a party once those dreary days are over.

If you are in direct sales, as I am, the days in January and February may be discouraging from a sales standpoint, but it is a great time to get back into making contacts and focusing on planning for the warmer months to come.

About Me

Mamaw is my favorite title. I live in a rural area where we have a hobby farm. I have two beautiful daughters and a son that are all doing well as adults. I have been married to my handsome, hard working husband for 22 years and still counting. I currently stay extremely busy as I work three part time jobs and I manage our household all while caring for my grand doll when her momma works.

My favorite job is being a Pink Zebra Independent Consultant. I absolutely love the products and I am convinced that Pink Zebra will change your life when you just change your fragrance. I also sell on Amazon, eBay, and Craigslist. I write for several sites and I enjoy all of my work online I am a member at Swagbucks. I am attempting to get into doing some freelance work and I hope to soon be able to live off of my online income.

Besides this blog, I also write a blog about cooking and include many recipes on it. I also have another blog on blogger that focuses on my Pink Zebra business. Just another thing to keep me busy!
